When you're listening to a really good song and can't decide what instrument to pretend to play, so you switch up every few seconds. Most common instruments include: lead guitar, rhythm guitar, drums, and keyboard.
I can't listen to Spraynard cuz I always start air banding really hard.
"I can't decide between picking the guitar, strumming the guitar, or drumming, so I'm just gonna air band."
"Dude, who CAN decide?"

Someone who is often times a complete social outcast. Also known as Reddit lurkers Keep in mind that not all kids who participate in marching band are band kids. Band kids will often times repeat the phrase βmarching band is a sport tooβ or βthe marching band is the most important part of the football gameβ.
An example of a band kid action which actually happened at my high school: during the last football game the seniors stepped onto the field and their names were called off. A few kids in the marching band were saluting to the seniors. They were not asked to do this.
Band kid: Callmecarson is my waifu.
Normal person: What a band kid thing to say.

A group of very dedicated people who work tirelessly to help assist high school marching bands. These are usually parents of current or sometimes former band members, and they will often assist in all kinds of band-related activities, from helping with band camps to loading instruments on busses and selling concessions. They can also be found involved in fundraisers and trying to make sure their kid actually sells some band candy this year. Also sometimes known as band boosters, these individuals are often instrumental (no pun intended) to keeping a high school band on its feet.
The band parents helped unload the instrument bus, then they made sure all the band uniforms had been put back correctly. Finally, at 11:30 at night, they went home.
